Two weeks ago, I went to Hyderabad in India for my second APXLDS. The moment I stepped out from the airport, I was shocked. Was shocked to know the way people in India drive. It's completely different compared to Malaysia. It's dangerous and they honk a lot on the road is very noisy. It's scary and mental challenging. We checked-in to the hotel at about 2.00am. The next morning, our dear friend, Shivani came to the hotel and take us out for a tour. First, he brought us to Chutney's for breakfast. They served fantastic vegetarian breakfast. According to Shivani, Indians usually take vegetarian food for breakfast. After the breakfast, we went to a Buddha temple which is about 30 minutes drive from Chutney's. It's on another side of the town. Situated in the middle of the housing area. That's why we got to see another side of Hyderabad, the more peaceful side.
After the temple, we dropped by at Shivani's uncle house to chill before we move on to the next stop, Salar Jung Museum. Salar Jung Museum is the third largest museum in India housing the biggest one-man collections of antiques in the world. It is well known throughout India for its prized collections belonging to different civilizations dating back to the 1st century. The museum is big and we spent about 2 hours in the museum (we seen only half of it). After walking for 2 hours, we were quite tired and hungry. Before we get to have our dinner, we have to visit someone special and she is Shivani's mother! She's so kind and a loving mother.
We had our dinner at this place called Paradise. They served the TRUE INDIAN briyani's rice. YUMMY! The food in India are not expensive. With RM 10, you can have a good meal. After a good dinner, Shivani brough us to the Hussain Sagar lake. The lake is about 24 kilometres built on a tributary of the River Musi. There is a large monolithic statue of the Lord Buddha in the middle of the lake.
We had a great day with Shivani. He's a great host! Thank you so much my dear friend.
To be continue...
